Knowledge (scientia)

In the second window, we see
Knowledge represented by St. Luke
the Evangelist and by Copernicus.
The apostle Paul refers to Luke as
"the beloved physician" (Col. 4:14),
and throughout Christian history, he
is understood to have been a man of
great scholarship and discernment.
The author of both the Gospel of
Luke and the Acts of the Apostles,
he is also the earliest historian of
the Christian Church. Nicolaus
Copernicus (1473-1543) was the
great Polish mathematician and
astronomer responsible for the
earliest heliocentric understanding
of the universe.
